S.M.A.R.T Status Shows Bad Despite Recent Hard drive Replacement

[zahinm14]

Hi I recently had a problem where my ASUS X555LA laptop would boot into the Aptio Setup Utility page and it would not boot into my OS. I opened up my laptop and there didn't seem to be any problems with the connections prompting me to believe there was a problem with my HDD. I showed a technician who also said I should change my HDD. I bought an SHDD and installed it to success but when I turn my computer on every so often, I am given a message telling me that S.M.A.R.T has detected a bad drive. What should I do?
By the way I'm running Windows 10 and the SHDD is called Seagate FireCuda 2.5" Internal Drive.
Any conclusions or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

It could be a flaw with the drive. If it is still new enough to be under warranty you might want to see about getting it exchanged.

You might want to download seatools, the Seagate specific diagnostic app and see what it says.

How can I be sure this isn't just a problem with my computer? Is there any way to check the S.M.A.R.T status of my computer while logged into the OS?

Wow, I didn't know of any such software I will definitely check it out.
